Ensenada

When we stopped in Ensenada we took an excursion called Taste of Mexico that took us to a variety of places around town and then to a restaurant called Mango Mango for a cooking class. We made pico de gallo, guacamole, tamales and tostadas. It was a lot of fun, except afterwards I had a huge craving for a sopapilla!
Guacamole: BeforeAfter
I didn't know this but if you leave the avacodo seed in with your guacamole it will keep the avacodo from turning brown. Yummy!

This is a picture of the tamale we made.

Do you recognize this? It's the Black Pearl! Apparently the studio is going to bring it ashore and turn it into a coffee shop but until then here it is!

The Mexican Flag. This thing was huge. Our tour guide said it weighed 500 pounds and takes at least 30 soldiers to take it down-on a windy day, at least 40.
